Steps to learning 50-50 trick tip
1: To 50-50 approach the ledge or rail you are going to grind either at a 45 degree angle or less. Ollie at an angle with your front foot first and your back foot following until you land on the ledge/rail.
2: You want to ollie just high enough to get on, but not too high or you will slam your trucks really hard.
3: Once you start sliding, keep your weight over the center of the board. If possible, have your back foot on the tail. On curbs and low ledges, you can just roll out of it sometimes, but if it is higher you either need to drop or ollie out of it. to drop it, just keep your weight over the back truck and manual until you fall.
4: To ollie out, pop the tail and fall to the ground. When you land, keep your weight centered and try not to slip out. Stay balanced and ride away smooth. This is also a sweet trick to do combo's like 180 and shove-its out.
